Vietnam team plays Malaysia, waiting for coach Park's talent
(Baonghean.vn) - To open the door to the final qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup, the Vietnamese team must win all 3 points when facing Malaysia at 11:45 p.m. tonight (June 11). But with the absence of some key players, Coach Park will have to carefully calculate for each position.
Coach Park Hang Seo uses troops
Compared to the match against Indonesia, the personnel problem in the Vietnam team makesCoach Park Hang Seomore headache. Quang Hai was suspended, Tuan Anh was also a spectator, forcing coach Park to calculate very carefully for each position.
Against Malaysia, the Vietnamese team welcomed the return of Trong Hoang and Dinh Trong. However, coach Park Hang Seo is likely to only use Trong Hoang, because the trio of central defenders Duy Manh, Que Ngoc Hai, and Bui Tien Dung performed very well in the victory over Indonesia.

Trong Hoang can be replaced by Coach Park in the midfield of the Vietnamese team, when Van Thanh is in good form on the right wing. The problem lies in Tuan Anh's position.
Coach Park Hang Seo needs a player with good ball-fighting ability and good defense like Duc Huy, or an attacking player like Xuan Truong or Hoang Duc to fill in, which is being carefully considered.

Facing Malaysia, who are considered stronger than Indonesia and stronger than themselves in the first leg, coach Park Hang Seo emphasized the solidity of the defense. The defense is stable with goalkeeper Tan Truong, the trio Duy Manh, Que Ngoc Hai and Bui Tien Dung guarding the front, protecting the goal of the Vietnamese team.
In the 3-5-2 tactical formation, the two wings of the Vietnamese team are Van Thanh and Hong Duy, the central midfielder duo Trong Hoang - Xuan Truong, and Phan Van Duc plays the role of attacking midfielder. Cong Phuong is considered to play as a false striker, and the highest player in the formation of the Vietnamese team is Tien Linh.
Desire to win
Malaysia lost heavily to UAE in the previous match, but against an opponent of equal caliber like Vietnam, things could change. Coach Tan Cheng Hoe's team is actually very unpredictable with many naturalized players.
In Group G, Malaysia still has a chance to advance, although not much, so they still have to hold on. Defeating Vietnam at this time is not only the number 1 goal, but also to keep the chair with coach Tan Cheng Hoe.

Meanwhile, the pressure on the Vietnamese team is also not small. To ensure a ticket to the final qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup, coach Park Hang Seo and his team need to defeat Malaysia and draw with the UAE in the final round.
Although difficult, defeating Malaysia is not an impossible goal for the red team. A united, well-coordinated team, a team with a thirst for victory and the strategic talent of coach Park Hang Seo are the strengths of the Vietnamese team that Malaysia and many other teams do not have.
With careful preparation and high spirits after the victory over Indonesia, the Vietnamese team always receives absolute trust from fans. This is certainly the motivation to help coach Park Hang Seo and his team be more confident in hunting for 3 full points against Malaysia, opening up the opportunity to make history for Vietnamese football.
